Thank you to the over 65,000 attendees to 2016 Pickering Ribfest. We will see you next year!

We are deeply saddened with the loss of Rick Johnson. Rick was a true friend and supporter of Rotary and Ribest. He was a great man who gave his everything to the community. We owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to Rick Johnson for stepping up and helping to make Pickering Ribfest a reality in 2008. While serving on Pickering City Council, Rick saw our vision and assisted Rotarians in every way he could. Rick would lend his influence to attract positive attention politically, assisted in lining up sponsors, and he himself contributed financially to ensure our annual fundraising event was successful.

It is with heavy hearts we say goodbye to our friend. Thank you Councillor Rick Johnson for all you were and all you did; not only for us, but for the people we can assist through your legacy.

Volunteer To Help Pickering Ribfest...

Each year we count on community minded people to assist us in providing an award winning experience at our annual event. Our goal is to deliver a fun, safe, and clean event from the time the first person walks through the gate, all the way to tearing down and cleanup. This work is volunteer driven and we are always looking for people to assist.

If you are a student looking for community service recognition to graduate, look no further. Pickering Ribfest is a great way to earn service hours, meet great people, and learn how to work as a valued and respected member of our event team.
